Ghost Towns of Arizona- Some of the "ghost" towns selected for this booklet never actually died. Tombstone, Jerome, and Bisbee were mining centers that now thrive on tourism. Other mining areas such as those near Crown King in the Bradshaw Mountains and Congress north of Wickenburg are enjoying new mining cycles. But the majority of the formerly prosperous towns have been abandoned to the sun and weather without the protection of an historic district designation. Much ghost town history and lore was passed down by word of mouth, growing grander with each telling. Growing population estimates were exaggerated by town fathers to pain a rosy picture of would-be immigrants back east. This booklet contains 48 pages of information regarding 36 of Arizona's finest ghost towns.

The remainder of these towns, many of which began as mining camps, can be found in the northwest part of the state or in the southeast desert area. This guide covers full fledged ghost towns which are true ghost towns, abandoned communities with no residents, where unrestored buildings or remnants of them can be seen. Restored or rebuilt ghost towns, most of which are thriving communities, such as Auburn and Grass Valley. We also cover partial ghost towns where the town has survived to the present time and limited or scattered remains of ghost towns. All of the towns are worth a visit and will reward the traveler with a glimpse of bygone days. It was not possible to include every California ghost town in this guide, but this section includes some of the best. Most settlements can be reached with ease, although few may require a four-wheel drive vehicle. Poor roads and other hazards are mentioned in the text. 48 pages, covers 39 Ghost towns.
